     LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- New photos were released by the U.S. Navy of the unarmed Trident II D5 Missile that was launched from a ballistic missile submarine off Point Mugu Saturday night.

The photographs show the moments leading up to the launch, with military officials preparing to head out to the USS Kentucky.

Another picture shows the moment the missile was launched, as an admiral monitors a video recording on board the submarine.

Navy Confirms 2nd Missile Launch, No UFO Fanfare

Navy Confirms 2nd Missile Launch, No UFO Feedback

     LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Navy has confirmed a second missile launch that was like the one that caused so much alarm over the weekend.

Just before noon on Monday, the Navy conducted a Trident missile test off the Southern California coast.

When the first test was done on Saturday night, thousands of people saw a mysterious green light flash in the sky from San Diego to Ventura. That created quite a stir, and ABC7 got hundreds of calls in the newsroom from people anxious to know what it was.

Because the second launch was during the day, no pictures have been seen so far.

The tests were part of the Navy's ongoing system evaluation test, and the missiles are not armed.

Officials said both missiles would have been launched on Saturday, but there were too many private boats in the area.

    An unannounced Trident missile launch lit up the skies over Los Angeles on Saturday night, setting off a hail of UFO reports, tense tweets and YouTube videos.

After the flare-up, the U.S. Navy confirmed that the USS Kentucky, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine that’s homeported at the Bangor submarine base on the Kitsap Peninsula, conducted a “scheduled, on-going system evaluation test” in the Navy’s Pacific Test Range off the coast of Southern California. The missile was not armed, the Navy said in its statement.

It’s typical for the Navy to refrain from announcing Trident test launches in advance, but it’s definitely not typical for the launch to be witnessed by millions of people in one of the nation’s most populous regions. [...]

It was easily the craziest thing I've witnessed. [...]
